The New York Jets have reportedly hired their next head coach, as multiple reports say Adam Gase has gotten the job.

Gase, 40, was previously the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

The former Dolphins’ head coach went 23-25 with the franchise before getting fired at the end of the 2018 season.

Gase was one of several candidates for the Jets’ job and he reportedly received some help from an NFL legend before getting the job.

Peyton Manning, who played for Gase in Denver, reportedly reached out to the Jets’ ownership.

“It was an exhaustive process that included countless discussions, but I’m told Jets CEO Christopher Johnson took a phone call on Tuesday night from an especially impressive reference who advocated for Adam Gase: Peyton Manning,” ESPN’s Jeff Darlington tweeted.
